action
Valerie Solanas finances her living with casual prostitution and scrounging. As the founder and chairwoman of the “SCUM - Society for Cutting Up Men”, she spreads her radical feminist thoughts. By chance she meets the introverted pop artist Andy Warhol. He says anyone can be a star for fifteen minutes. Solanas enters the entourage that surrounds the artist, but after Warhol's initial interest, she is excluded from the circle again because of her great anger that he does not publish her self-written piece Up Your Ass . Now full of hatred and disappointment, Solanas assassins Warhol by firing three shots at him. However, this survived.

"Harron's style and Taylor's unforgettable performance keep us balanced and captivated."
"An extraordinary, shrill-weird film debut, which consists of loose, only fragmentarily assembled moments of action and is composed in subjectively captured impressions of a wondrous declaration of love to Andy Warhol as well as the city of New York and its lively art scene of the 60s."
